Laws
Each country has its own laws that govern business and protect employees — some more nuanced than others. For instance, although the EU recommends no more than 48 hours in a workweek, France adopted a measure that enforces no more than 35 hours a week. And in Australia, employees are required to report large money transfers to the government or face a penalty.
Make sure that you understand the laws that govern payroll taxes and employment specifically, even if you don’t plan to open an office overseas. If you don’t comply with the law, you could be subject to steep fines and criminal penalties.
